These evidenced-based therapeutic processes are designed to increase psychological flexibility and emotional resilience through ~
- An understanding and acceptance of your struggle with painful inner and outer experiences and the way it has affected your life.
- Discovering your life values as meaningful indicators that can motivate purposeful action in new directions.
- Breaking your attachment to unhelpful ways of thinking and responding to anxiety triggers, through cognitive defusion and perspective.
- Learning to be mindfully still and present while developing the composure and inner tolerance necessary to meet life challenges as they occur.
- Developing and applying new behavioral approaches, linked to chosen values, to actual life experiences through ’in-vivo’ exposure or exposure and response prevention (ERP).
As human beings, we are not so different from each other. I have also suffered the wrath of anxiety and there is little you can tell me that I haven’t either experienced myself or learned from others. You are not alone.
“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” – Aldous Huxley
